3.1 / MTIWP

1.7.1 / DISP32

4.4 / FSASF32

File to ImageMaster has undergone a complete rewrite of the page processing engine. FTI now captures margins and layout, columns, headers, footers, and graphical elements from the CLS “merge blob” even if WordPerfect suppresses or omits these elements between documents. There is a new method for more accurately locating the beginning of each document that works around bugs in PerfectScript. In addition, a new method for building the filing string solves formatting problems, the problem with embedded fonts, and the problem with certain punctuation in the CLS 1-7 document comment being mis-interpreted by the system as the end of line.

Print to ImageMaster and File to ImageMaster operations can be logged on a computer by computer basis.

 PTI and FTI now file documents on the disk using a unique internal identifier to group documents saved at each computer together.

 The PTI/FTI processing engine that remains hidden but active when not in use will now automatically close after a defined period of inactivity (the default is 60 minutes). Added a new INI variable "IdleTimeout" that specifies the number of minutes before the module self-terminates. A value of zero (0) disables this feature.

 Added support for Kofax Virtual Rescan software. ImageMaster now supports VRS with scanners that offer the limited functionality version from Kofax and bundle it with the scanning hardware. Full VRS is completely supported as well.

Added check to work around IMPTI too busy to handle request 1st time.

Added new environment variable "D32LOG" to permit logging of DISP32 activities. D32LOG unspecified or 0 = no logging, 1=CMD and Error Logging, 11=Full Logging and trace of module execution.

Fixed problem in database selection when one or more directories start with certain valid punctuation characters.

Added SDBLOOK as a built-in function. Updated release notes as well.

Added New INI variable "DebugLog" that controls the creation/writing of an in process log file (C:\IMASTER\IMPTI.LOG). DebugLog=1 turns on the feature.

Fixed barcode configuration problem introduced in 5.10.02.

Changed configuator to allow configuration of barcode field options on non-Kofax based workstations.

Added DES field reset to default if user cancels a scan in progress.

Revised the method for determining the application startup directory.

Fixed problem when user cancels PTI job in progress and page 1 (000) is not being erased.

Fixed Position off screen error when doing autofile with DebugMode on.

Changed duplicate document matching behavior to replace existing documents that are filed with identical criteria.

12/11/2006 5.40.00  / IMASTER

5.31.05 / IMPTI

3.4 / MTIWP

4.5 / FSASF32

2.50 / FSCANTWN

1.80 / IMDDE

4.5.06 / FVIEW32

 

Implemented setting Kofax DeviceCache property to improve performance on newer Kofax runtimes. INI environment variable "KFDeviceCache" set to a value of 0 thru 6 (0 is the old default).

Added a new INI variable "AutoBatchEnd" to change the current default behavior during Fully Automated scanning of leaving the last document unfiled when there is no explicit EOD marker on the last page. 0=current mode, last document must be filed/continued by the scanning operator. 1=Implicitly assume that the EOD is reached when the scanning batch ends.

Changed automatic EOD when barcodes are present (All barcodes on 1st page) feature to only be active during fully-automated scanning.

Fixed FA filing bug where multi-reference searches were being attempted even when new documents were being filed.

Added a new INI variable "SkipMRSearch" to disable the multi-reference search and update feature (which is time-consuming) when there is no chance that a multi-referenced document will be scanned using Fully-Automated mode. 0=perform the multi-reference search in FA mode, 1=SKIP the MR Search in FA Mode

Fixed APIv3 not allowing passwords in the LOGON topic.

Enhanced API to permit long file names with spaces to be supported in the listfile.

Added new API function "ANNOTATE=" to permit annotation of a list set.

Added new API function "A*{listfile},Annotation String*~f1name=/f1value... which performs UIless filing and annotation of the images created by the ImageMaster Printer (typically a document coverpage) and the payload list of images contained in listfile. See new documentation for details.

Moved TWAINShowUI from INI file into TWAIN ASF UI. Old INI setting is now obsolete and must be reconfigured inside ImageMaster.

Added new option in TWAIN ASF UI to control which Triplet is used to control the image brightness.

Added new feature in the search results hitlist to mark the current document as viewed and automatically display the next document (Use D on the keyboard)

Added new control TWNUseThreshold. 0=Brightness is used, 1=Threshold is used to control the image contrast.

Fixed problem with File Not Found in Viewing Module when using long paths.

Added new API function "RAWPOINTER:" inside the VIEW Topic of the V3 API.
RAWPOINTER: is a request for the last file of the currently selected document or optionally RAWPOINTER:query where "query" is an on-demand SQL WHERE query of the database for a document matching the specified query.
Return is NPATH+NFILE+ppp+"."+NFEXT where ppp is the ending page number (single document)
Return is -NONE- (no matching document)
Return is -MULTIPLE- (multiple matching documents)

Fixed processing error when WordPerfect document printing defaults are changed from the standard settings (from print all pages)

Added support for new Kofax OEM VRS Engines shipping with scanners.

Fixed horizontal window shrinking problem caused when certain functions inside the configuration module unhide the system menu bar.

Added logic to capture paper name to permit landscape forms to file correctly.

Added NEW FEATURE to annotation system to permit an incrementing value to be printed on each page. Original image is not altered.
Basic Usage. File-Print-Advanced. In the annotation string box use this format: ~={Format},{Starting Value}
Where ~= is a mandatory literal prefix.
{Format} is a formatting template.
Basic Rules are to include the fixed literal section in quotes, and the number portion represented by a string of zeros (0) ex: "CH"000 would generate annotations such as CH892, CH027. and..
{Starting Value} is a number representing the 1st value that will be used. Subsequent pages will be numbered (if the format allows) sequentially from the starting value specified.

New feature Export/Save/Email as PDF. Fixed a few cosmetic bugs as well.

Fixed print range problem when using default printing engine.
